WindowsXP SP2 Info...

[Runamile]

I d/l'ed mine a couple days ago no problem. The instalation was a little bumpy- After it installed and rebooted, during the splash screen it said there was an error detected scanning the registery and it had to use the backup. Also, after I was at the desktop for about 15 minutes, a 'File Protection' box came up saying some of the system files were corupt and told me to insert the instalation CD. I did that, but nothing really came of it. It all seems to work fine now.

The new features really are great. The popup blocker is one of the better ones ive seen, and the wireless setup is much improved. I'm not totally satifyed with stability and performance yet, that will take some time to build up that trust. One thing though, it seems that the ABC client for Bit torrent seems to run a little slower, but that probally has to do with the new port blocking built in.

all MS Service Packs have been cumulative since the NT 4 days, as far as I know, so the answer is 99.999% likely to be yes[/quote]


Not on the last OfficeXP ones. You have to download the SP1 first BEFORE you can get SP2.

Maybe WinXP will be different then OfficeXP?[/quote]



Office XP SP3 is cumulative

From recent information, SP2 will not be released until 3rd Quarter due to many issues that are being discovered as many have found out during the install of this beta. Originally, the release was to be sooner.
